Ensuring high-quality product is of the utmost importance to H.B. Carbide. Inspection and verification are built into our process from powder production through blank formation to final inspection. This detail to quality has earned us ISO 9001:2015 certification.
We maintain a state-of-the art metallurgical lab that tests for the following characteristics:
H.B. Carbide operates in a manner that is environmentally, ethically and socially responsible. And, we develop supplier relationships with businesses that have like-minded values, social compliance and corporate sustainability adoption.
We are highly invested in environmental global sustainability. We use state-of-the art equipment and processes that enable us to recapture and recycle 80% of the carbide powder being used in our facility. All recaptured material is thoroughly tested in our metallurgical lab to ensure its purity for re-use. This enables us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint.
We are compliant with the following regulations:
We have built a culture where we ensure high standards of performance, economy, effectiveness, efficiency, quality and satisfaction. This includes compliance to all procedures or non-disclosures required by our customers.
Ethical work practices are core to H.B. Carbide’s belief system. We ensure the health and safety, as well as the rights, of our employees and the community.
Our Code of Ethics ensures we operate with integrity in all the following areas:
